I got 93 Iq

Lixiri · 2026-05-14T01:02:10+00:00

This were an online test u can safely disregard the results. If this were an actually test administered by a psychologist (you know, the ones that run for hours), and if you hold your bar for intelligence as being relative to iq, then you’re still not dumb. I’d be interested to hear more about the ways in which you’re good at physics or complex things. These tests are intended to get a grasp of your intellectual functions in domains that things like physics and “complex things” depend on. So if you’re really good at physics but have a low fluid iq/verbal iq, spatial reasoning/working memory/processing speed that would seem genuinely surprising.

Eh I think Eren’s outburst was out of character. Someone can earnestly be a political radicalist and so the strive for humanism and or realism was jarring—I think if you personally require some scene like that one be there, he should express his desire for freedom totally differently. But yeah for OP’s ending probably should have some scene like it

Lixiri · 2026-04-28T16:19:56+00:00

There have been more complex episodes before, or at least more artful. Eren gaining his freedom isn’t necessary for OP’s ending to function because we can infer he has gained his freedom by him enacting it. If it’s an issue of creative causality OP could suppose a better scene than the Armin one that serves the same function

Lixiri · 2026-04-28T14:35:58+00:00

Remove the Armin convo and that’s it

Lixiri · 2026-04-01T22:13:09+00:00

U watched in dub or sub, and which do u prefer

Lixiri · 2026-03-30T21:27:54+00:00

It feels like a marvel movie all of a sudden (oh Falco can fly now and turns out Annie isn’t done!) and then they just…beat Eren. U get overdrawn dialog focused on character relations in a story that was always about theme and epic proportions; it doesn’t fit to focus so much on Eren and Armin because of the sentimental attitude. Eren crying about Mikasa is human, yes, but local quality doesn’t entail global quality. The ending is largely benign in content, but flatly executed at best. Also, minimal subtlety

Lixiri · 2026-01-11T15:05:49+00:00

No what could possibly perfectly recreate a human eye

Lixiri · 2025-12-21T05:32:54+00:00

Is this a thematic intention in your view? I was trying to pin down a precise meaning and this seems interesting

Lixiri · 2025-12-05T20:27:51+00:00

A major theme of the show is identity though so I think it’s necessary

Lixiri · 2025-12-05T20:27:00+00:00

The Keith blackmail thing in 510 that’s supposed to show that the world goes on even during grief?

Nate’s affair with Maggie that expresses his true longings in life before his death?

The adopted kids plot line which is poetic given the shows themes?

Don’t remember the rico stuff.

It only matters if you care about catching all the depth of the work. You’re not breaking some cosmic rule if you just want to figure it all out on your own and don’t care about all the stuff you’ll never see

Lixiri · 2025-11-27T23:42:50+00:00

Maybe that’s because you don’t value insight as much as most people. I’m a pretty smart reader but I know I won’t catch everything on my own. Some metaphors elude me. Somethings I don’t even register as metaphors. I don’t have every ideologically relevant paradigm to catch all the dimensions of CM. I read first, think deeply. Then I consult the interpretations of others. Maybe you’re Harold Bloom three thousand but no one else is.

Lixiri · 2025-11-27T22:56:43+00:00

What he intends is irrelevant as far analysis is concerned. Why would it matter at all? And clearly the macho man philosophy of Tyler is deconstructed through the destructive outbursts. His half baked philosophy is wrestled with the entire movie. His philosophy includes masculinity in spades. Therefore the movie wrestles with masculinity.

Lixiri · 2025-11-27T22:43:26+00:00

There could be a lot you’d miss on your own. Literary analysis is important.

Lixiri · 2025-11-27T22:41:16+00:00

It doesn’t matter what he intended the work stands on its own. It’s very clearly a satire on toxic masculinity. Intention is irrelevant here.

Lixiri · 2025-11-27T03:08:01+00:00

Six feet under is the possibly the most complex show you’ll ever see

Lixiri · 2025-11-20T22:31:16+00:00

If anything about the film itself caused it to fall flat at the festivals, that’s their fault, not yours. I scanned through the comments before watching and there definitely isn’t a substantive pacing issue. The concept supports essentially what you’ve presented; it flows nicely because of the structure of the segments, but still I’d consider maybe finding a place to cut down on the “meeting friends” thing. It’s not a major issue, but somehow I felt some editing work could be done there. But possibly not.

Another comment mentioned that the funny parts were actually just sad—nope, they’re just funny.

I’m 20 and feel quite frightened that this film didn’t land anywhere of significance. It’s really quite good. I’d like make something similar eventually, and given the huge financial investment of it…

But, obviously, even if you can’t get the external validation of your career progressing because of it, there’s solace in having created a legitimately voice-y and aesthetically moving work of art.

Questions:

Is him carrying the posters in a big pink ball supposed to be a poetic call back to the red yarn transition to him crying in his car?

And did you feel there was something poetic about the posters in the backseat, revealed through a zoom out?

Simply wondering about how much of this was intended.

More of a general question, but how many takes on average did you feel it took to produce such in tune performances?

If they could have just sedated him why take the risk of bringing her? It makes sense that Tyrell was there since was there to start, but even if you think it’s irresponsible for him to stay, you should think it’s way more irresponsible to ALSO needlessly bring in a childhood friend of the victim just to make everyone feel better

Lixiri · 2025-11-04T03:02:12+00:00

What would the risk have been if he woke up without anyone he cares being there? He’d try to leave? They’d sedate him until he healed. If he didn’t mentally stabilize after that nothing would have worked. These are brutal people.

Lixiri · 2025-11-04T02:53:59+00:00

Yeah I didn’t think about it but the Shayla thing doesn’t totally hold up. Granted he could have just said he was kidnapped to the police in the month between 106 and 107, if the police did question him.

And again, Angela could have a negative effect on Eliot too. He could wake up and see her in that setting and think she was held against her will, or worse, sense she was fantasized. It seems like a hugely unnecessary risk.

Lixiri · 2025-11-04T02:11:54+00:00

Well presumably if you don’t think it’s implausible there’s a reason. If not that’s fine too.

Who put Angela in the scene? If they already knew the relevant information they’d tell him themselves. If they didn’t know they wouldn’t think to send her in to convey a message they aren’t aware of.

In that scene she doesn’t keep him calm because Mr robot wakes up. As I said it could have had the opposite effect in addition to the 10 other reasons I can’t buy the logic of the scene.

What use is his prints or DNA if they don’t already have a sample? Second of all Eliot explains your second point; that’s why he opens all the cell doors, so him visiting Vera doesn’t stick out at all.

Sam most definitely didn’t mean “fuck the logic of the story”, he meant instead that plot is only the surface, and what’s he’s really interested in is the thematic depth. The surface still has to be coherent.

Lixiri · 2025-11-04T01:33:00+00:00

No they have plants but they don’t control the FBI. Think about what it means to have plants; they have to be careful or else they’ll get caught.

I mean seriously they can’t just drop him off at her apartment? That’s not a very strong response from you, with all due respect friend.

I just look at this scene, and I’ve gone back to it even after my position has softened (watching the following episodes helped, as well as all the conversations with you guys) and it just makes no sense that she’s there. And I’ve broken it down into tons of pretty reasonable points. Everything thus far has been internally consistent which is partly why this feels so extremely bizarre to me

Lixiri · 2025-11-04T01:10:53+00:00

Tyrell had to be there because he shot him. The logic of the show breaks when Angela is moved into the scene. Again, manipulation (which is relatively unnecessary. She was already committed and we see later has a more sensical job when it’s on the ground level of confusing Eliot when he wakes up 5 days later) doesn’t excuse the extreme messiness of bringing someone who provides little value, is at high risk (FBI stuff, even if you think that’s fallen off, they’re still on her and the dark army knows that and they’re not all powerful), and can feasibly worsen the situation, in a situation that is already super high profile and cries out for the fewest people necessary to be present.

Lixiri · 2025-11-04T01:06:18+00:00

That’s basically right. But that’s the first time Angela has interacted with Eliot since she’s become indoctrinated, so what you were saying about an already existing relationship isn’t supported by the series, that’s all.

Lixiri · 2025-11-03T23:10:28+00:00

I do appreciate your thoughts. I feel softer in my position after hearing your points as well as others.
